Christian High School Challenges

Describe the most challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?

The most significant challenge I have faced was when I was growing up was reading. Reading is one of the most important things it was hard for me to say some words that I thought I was never gonna learn to read ever even if they were just small words or big words I struggle so much while growing up. When I was

Challenges and obstacles are life defining moments in someone’s life that teaches them skills and responses that they can utilize and build upon for the duration of their lives. I would not necessarily call my challenge a moment, I would call it a period or season of my life where I had to learn how to cope with the many personalities of high school students, and differentiate who I would consider my friends. High school is a very stressful environment and peer pressure is very prevalent. Not only is there the fact that you may not attend a high school in the same town as you live, but inevitably, it thrusts you into a world of people you may not even know.

A lot of people set a challenge to improve. By setting a challenge, individuals work hard, asking for help and advice from experienced advisors. Challenges motivate people and keep them working hard. The most significant challenge I have faced was getting a full scholarship into the private school, American Heritage High School in Plantation. This challenge was crucial for me because I came to United States in the middle of sixth grade. I went to Falcon Cove Middle School, and the school placed me in regular classes within the ESOL program. The ESOL program is a program designed for foreign students who do not speak English well. I got out of the program once I passed the placement test to the Cambridge program. In middle school, I won a variety

The first obstacle had to face are my parent divorce. When this obstacle happened I was depressed and not do that good in school. My aunt had to take to with her friend that was an therapist I only went for one day, when it finish the therapy I realized that my life is not over just for a dilema. I was more relief and more ambitious to do all my work and pass all of my classes. The second obstacle is that I would struggle at school is turning in my work late when it was due the next day. Then, I had to overcome it by, making an agenda to keep my work on track and test to study for the agenda really helped me alot. My last dilemma is that I would work during school because me and my family depend on my dad sending money when sometime he wouldn't send us money. Me and my bigger sister would always try to find a job to help my mom to pay bills etc. Another obstacle is trying my best to have good grade and study in a correct way. I try to keep up my grade but sometimes it's hard. I sometimes

I believed it was going to be difficult to make new friends. I was not sure how they reacted to new people or how their personalities were. I also was not sure how to approach them. When I began to talk with my new classmates, I realized we have many common interests. Making new friends became easier for me overtime by simply finding common interests and being kind to others.

My first difficulty was in fifth grade when one of my close friends moved away. I was disappointed but I knew it'd be okay because I still had my best friend as we went into middle school. We made it through the year successfully, but then I heard some bad news. My best friend was moving too. She was my first friend since I'd moved here in second grade and I didn't know what I was going to do. I ended up making some new friends and getting closer with old friends. It was very challenging but now I am happy with a new group

A significant challenge that I faced that I thought I might not accomplish was in sophomore year. I believed I would not be able to pass my science class. I was almost failing the entire year but the last quarter was the worst. The teacher made a huge test that would help anyone that was almost failing and I studied every night until the test which was for about a month and a half. I was sure I would still end up failing because I wasn’t sure about many of the topics we had discussed. On testing day, we had time before the test to study even more and I had one of my friends test me with flashcards that I created; there was over one hundred of them. While taking the test, I was freaking out and ended up not answering some of the questions because

A constant challenge I faced starting at the age of six was self-hate. I was at the park and I was playing with a girl my age. She said to me, "You're fat." Those two words introduced me to self-hate and that hate stayed with me in the next years of my life. I started my first diet in second grade. Diets did not really work for me so I would be on and off them. Since I could not change my appearance, I stayed away from people. As a child, I did not really like making friends because I had the simple fear that they would ridicule me. But this just made me lonely. I felt like a stump stuck in the same position. I wanted to bloom into a tall tree and enjoy my life but it was hard. I saw myself as an elephant, unable to hide its body.

The main challenges that I faced was when my parents went out to eat I couldn't go with them cause I couldn't eat any of the food and all of the junk food and stuff I was allergic to was at school so at lunch time I had to sit at a table by myself in front of the entire cafeteria because of my food allergies. I finally overcame

Everyone has challenges; challenges define how you measure as a person. Through the past four years I have experienced some of the most challenging parts of my life. On November 4, 2013 my mom served my dad divorce papers, only two months into my freshman year; I didn’t realize the struggle that was going to infest me. High school for any teenager is challenging; high school plus divorce equals a nightmare. Through my experiences I have learned that finding your voice and thinking for yourself is an important way of combating what is ahead of you. When you are at your lowest point in your life, you find out a lot about yourself as well as the people around you. I have found I need honesty in my life. Divorce is filled with “he said” “she

I was approached a few years ago about directing the teaching and learning for my local church. I was hesitant, but I am delighted that I answered the call. I have spent four (4) years of study in the Certificate of Progress (COPP) Program and my biblical knowledge and spiritual growth have been a blessing. I have realized that although I have spent my life in the church, My work was limited to serving on committees and proudly be a member in good standing. Being a member in good standing may have merit, but it is not what we are called to do as Christians. Although I regularly attended Sunday School and Vacation Bible School, I realized that my biblical knowledge was seriously lacking.

Walking into my new school I was not sure what to expect. I walked around for a while did not see anyone I knew. So I just went to first period fifteen minutes before it was scheduled to start. For

School in many ways has adversity. In test, or in the classroom. For me test where like taking the STAAR or Final and the STAAR and final where like taking the SAT. I was so nervous that I mostly failed

The most significant challenge I have faced was balancing my academics and sports. I have been involved in the boy's soccer program at Palm Desert High School since my freshman year and each season has proven to be a test for me academically. I must say that attempting to balance my school work and soccer during my freshman and sophomore year has taken a toll on my academic achievement. It is unfortunate, however, I learned many things that will benefit me in the future. It was difficult because stress and anxiety amounted on top of all the school work and assignments that needed to be completed with the little time I had in my hands. Each season lasted around four months and during those four months, I accumulated bad habits. I procrastinated
